  • Research & Grants

    Neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) is a common inherited cancer syndrome, characterized by Schwann cell tumors (neurofibromas), as well as an increased risk of malignancies, bone disorders, and CNS manifestations.  Family members with the same mutation in the NF1 gene may have very different disease severity and outcomes, and the mechanisms underlying this variable expressivity are unknown.  I am using human neurofibroma-derived Schwann cells, as well as mouse models of NF1, to examine the roles of DNA damage and repair genes in modifying NF1 disease severity.
